For the purpose of the following question, the definition of a crime is any act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender liable to punishment by that law. Punishment may include a fine, jail/prison sentence, probation, restitution, etc. If you have been to court and/or paid a fine for an offense other than a minor traffic violation, you may likely have a criminal record. IMPORTANT: Be sure to answer this question honestly. A previous conviction may not automatically disqualify you for employment. However, should you be offered employment and this information is determined to be false or if you neglected to reveal the full details of your criminal history, the offer of employment may be rescinded.

I understand that North Country Associates will conduct a criminal history background check if I accept a contingent offer of employment. I also understand that employment at North Country Associates or any of its affiliated facilities is always based on the ongoing mutual agreement of the employee and the employer. This means that employees are free to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and that the employer has the same privilege. I recognize that although I may be employed to work in a specific schedule, operating needs may require me to work my share of weekends, holidays, or shift rotation in order to perform work need to be completed.
